Rangers were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw against Hibernian earlier today, providing Celtic with the perfect opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Premiership to 13 points.
Following the slip-up at Ibrox, Celtic can take full advantage by securing three points against St Mirren later today.
Celtic’s official Twitter/X account didn’t hold back after the Rangers result, sharing a photo of a smiling Brendan Rodgers arriving at Paradise, a subtle yet pointed dig at their Glasgow rivals.
Rangers had been 2-0 up in the game but failed to hold on, allowing Hibernian to claw back for a draw.
The result leaves the gap at 10 points for now, but Celtic’s potential victory would not only widen the lead but also help ease the sting of their midweek loss to Rangers.
Rangers had been vocal about “being back” after their win in the latest derby—their first since May 2023.
However, today’s result could bring them back down to earth, especially if Celtic capitalizes with a strong performance against St Mirren.
Brendan Rodgers has made three changes to his lineup from the defeat at Ibrox. Luke McCowan, Arne Engels, and Auston Trusty have been brought into the side, replacing Reo Hatate, Paulo Bernardo, and Liam Scales as Celtic look to bounce back and solidify their position at the top of the table.
